Our trip to the Back River!

Did you know that the Weymouth Herring Run in the Back River watershed is one of the largest runs in Massachusetts? On August 6th, I had the great pleasure of joining Linda DiAngelo, President of the Back River Watershed Association (BRWA), on a boat tour of the Back River. Local State Representative James Murphy, a longtime supporter of the BRWA, organized this tour to gain support for the proposed Back River Trail connecting Great Esker Park and Abigail Adams State Park in North Weymouth to Stodder’s Neck State Park and Bare Cover Park in East Weymouth, making these seemingly separate parks a one-destination attraction. This trip was also an excellent opportunity for me to get to know the BRWA, as well as the issues, triumphs, and goals for the Back River watershed.
